Store offline files on SD card on Android devices

[PaulF7619]

I have an ASUS ZenPad 8 running Android 6.0 and right now I'm running Dropbox on the internal memory.  This works great but I'm using up ~4.5Gb of internal storage.  I'd like to run Dropbox on my 128Gb microSD in the tablet but don't know how to do this.

I can (and did) do this on my Window's desktop but that was relatively easy, basically just changing the location call for Dropbox from my C: Drive to the 😧 Drive.

How do I do this in an Android system?

Boggles my mind that after all these years & even on the most recent Android builds, Dropbox still can't keep files on the SD card. Profoundly limits the usefulness of your product on mobile.

There are a number haven't yielded any results over the years.

So instead of is wasting our time here we should perhaps all raise tickets with Dropbox.

Dropbox used to work with storage cards for Data and it worked well.

Thank you for your idea, while we can’t take every idea forward we do regularly re-review and will update you if anything changes!

I realise I'm not the only dropbox subscriber to request offline files to be stored on an sd card. I have a new Android tablet and, in 2022, one shouldn't have to rely on an internet connection.

Look forward to the dropbox team resolving this one!

Still no progress on this? Come on Dropbox, how hard can it be?

[Kevin000]

Well, it used to be a feature so I assume it is not so very difficult.

I for one switched to another Cloud Storage provider which does have this function.
